The Story of the Trinity Knot
Trinity Knot
The Triquetra, Trinity Knot or Celtic Triangle is one of the most common and recognizable of the Celtic Knots.
There are many theories about the meaning of this popular design. Each one mentions the significance of the three intersecting loops. You can interpret the meaning of these loops in various ways, such as Father-Son-Holy Spirit, Mother-Crone-Maiden, or mind-body-spirit, depending on your beliefs. This is a classic symbol of Celtic culture. Commonly traced back to the Celtic Christian church, but now other cultures also use the symbol, and each attach their own meaning to it. Artists, tattooists, and jewelers beautifully display it in their work.
